HISTORY OF MUSIC, Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
The second subscription performance, on Wednesday, March 28th, is called “The History of Chamber Music.” In creating this program, Artistic Directors the Sixth Floor Trio wove together a seamless thread of works tracing the origins of this genre from the earliest folk and church music through the major core eras and closing with the 21st century. This program will build a very beautiful and powerful arc built on small tastes of many different styles and flavors (a sort of tasting menu!). Repertoire includes arrangements of ancient choral and Renaissance dance music, Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Debussy, Shostakovich, Barber and more!
Late night Mingle event! Following the performance on March 28th, Resident Artists the Jordan Tice Trio will provide about an hour of music to enjoy while you sip a cocktail from the cash bar.
